a Sketched cartoon of the magmatic plumbing system of the Campi Flegrei illustrating the volume of the active sill-like magma chamber, the volume variation ΔVm, and the erupted volume Ve. b Binary diagram showing the relationship between the recharge volume and the magmatic excess pressure necessary to bring the main chamber to rupture. The yellow dashed line indicates the median value of juvenile crystallinity (reciprocal of melt fraction) in Epoch 3b erupted rocks49.
